The same sort of logic that a battery powered truck is the "way of the future" is the same sort of abbreviated logic that some people use to conclude that "we could have stopped the Covid if everyone IN THE WORLD stayed home for 2 weeks".
I mean, really. Maybe in the trunkated view of people who really want to "believe", that makes sense if you say it really fast and then change the subject before anyone asks you to explain yourself. The same way that EVERYONE on the PLANET can live off-the-grid with no outside potable water, no sewer, no food, no medical services, no electricity, no internet (we did say "everyone stays home", and everyone means 'every one'), no public transportation....even in the entire country of India, or China, or Japan...you begin to see the giant leap in logic here.
Similarly, you would have to tow your boat, haul your lumber, or your load of rocks, etc to whatever job site you're working on and back and then rely on downtime sufficient to re-charge, and then do it again and again, day after day until your investment is amortized. After all, a truck is not a people mover. It's a cargo mover, lest you plan on driving around a battery powered empty steel box, and still have enough surplus power capacity to avoid getting stuck. Because people who use a truck have nothing else to do but wait for the vehicle to charge up, right? They must not drive all day. Surely they spend the entire day behind a DESK, right? Right?
